Change the life of a cat!
August 8 marks World Cat Day.
Not only are cats cute and adorable, but they also make loyal friends.
Having a cat in your home comes with benefits because cats deter rodents and other pests.
They are also easy to take care of because they clean themselves and are low maintenance. They also don't require much space.
However, sometimes cats are abused by their owners. They are not well-fed and sometimes they lack proper medical care after falling sick or suffering injuries.

This World Cat Day, you can choose to make a difference in the life of a cat in the following ways:
Adopt a cat
Many cats are abandoned and need a home. This World Cat Day you can make a difference in the life of a cat by offering the cat a home.
Take your cat for a check up
Cats should have health checks annually. They should be dewormed and vaccinated on a regular basis to ensure their bodies are in a healthy state.
Give your cat a treat
Spoil your cat with something delicious to eat, but remember to check if it is suitable for consumption by our feline friends.
Spoil your own cat
Today is the perfect day to show your cat you love them. Getting your cat a new toy or playing with it will go a long way in showing your love.
